Lazy Dayz

It's around 8:30 Sunday morning. J is upstairs sleeping off the rest of the party from last night (ended around 4am) and I'm getting ready for the last day of the scout troop garage sale. Why do I do this to myself??? I had VBS all week so I wasn't able to keep up with the house and get garage sale stuff ready, then we had out of town relatives in for the weekend so we visited with them Friday night after we closed the sale. Saturday we miss the soccer game becuase I wrote the wrong time down, have the garage sale, bale out on the championship game for softball, and go to my FIL 50th b-day party.

Party keeps going and going and going. Impressively, only 1 person gets sick (that I know of) unfortunately he gets really sick and by 3am we had a 7 person pile up on the drunken idiot and an ambulance for the sick guy. Hoping he's doing better now. Man I just don't get it, you know your limits, don't push it. And for Goodness sake don't drink on an empty stomach!!

The Dye Shop

I'm done. It's over. Ouch, my hands hurt!!

Today was the final day for VBS here. I ran the dye shop in Bethlahem Village. All in all it was a really good time. My hands are now purplish red, and the hurt even to type right now, but it was worth it. The kids loved tieing ropes around their bags and shirts before the placed them into the dye bath (no rubberbands in Biblical times!) but trying to untie them with gloves (I know also not Biblical times, but I was trying to save my hands!) just didn't work. Every knot would make a hole in the gloves. So now I have dyed hands. But since I was running the shop I got to dye my shirts and a pair of socks to match!!

Now to find a dye remover for my hands... After a nice long soak for them.... that sounds good...

Camp fun

So we picked up the oldest from camp today. She had lots of fun. But here's the thing they gave me a list of all the stuff she did. It turns out she's earned over 5 badges not just the 1 that they listed on the pre-cmap info sheet. This puts her at over 30 badges in 1 full year as a junior!! It's insane, I never had this many badges! She earned swimming, humans and habitats, sky search, small craft, water fun, horse rider, and outdoor fun!!! In one week!! Damn wish I could have gone to that camp!!

Goodbyes

Well it's official. I just took my sister and her family to the airport. They are going to Germany to live. I won't see her again for about a year maybe more. I won't get to see my nephew start running around without falling or hear his first words or sit and bs with my sister anymore.

Goodbyes suck.

Tennis balls

So had to younger girl at tennis today and decided to see how many times I could bounce the ball on the racket. This is a LOT harder then it looks! The best I got was 15 before I lost it again. Then little man would come and snag it to add to his mountain. Little army men climbing a mountain of balls. She's getting good definately better then me.
